I am extremely happy with my Honda 6500W (gas). Very dependable.... even after almost a year without using it and the same gas. Obviously it's much better to keep up on the maintenance, but hey, I was gonna get to that eventually.

4000W Champion. $300 at Canadian Tire and it'll run my tanks through an 18 hour outage...then 12 hours later, another 6 hour outage...followed by 4 more hours the next day. BC hydro is awesome.

I have a KIPOR 3000 Generator, very quiet and creates very clean current. I use this for my servers when required, camping and of course the tank.

Wow, some of you have gone quite overkill on yours, 7500-10000, very huge producers.

I still don't have one dang it. I'm thinking next summer I'll go out and blow some bucks on a solar panel array and a bunch of deep cycle batteries. Rig up an automatic transfer relay, sit back & relax. To heck with BC Hydro, can't complain too much about outages, last one was years ago and only a few hours, but they're about to crank up the rates.

5000W Champion. I think been a couple years bought it to use for work purposes but now it sits covered and ready for use service it every year sits with every little gas in it as when gas evaporates it leaves a very hard shall-lack on and in everything. it does everything I need it to and we can still watch satellite TV kids love that feature. some lights and my tanks works great.
